We can always add ANOTHER child, right?
"I'm hesitant to talk about Jesse on this thread. My problems are minor compared to what Lady Pilgrim's family is facing. But a number of people have FReepmailed me asking. Here is the FReepmail I sent them.My 8 year old just had the third of what were supposed to be two surgeries on his left foot. One more to go, then we start working on the right foot.They're excrutiating procedures. He screamed for 5 hours straight even though they had him on a maximum adult dose of morphine and some other pain killer.Around Easter his feet started changing shape and have curled up like fists. He walks on the sides of them. He can't really wear shoes. They don't know what is causing it. There are 2 nervous disorders that can cause this, but he came up negative on both of them. The surgeries are basically rebuilding his feet.On top of that, in recovery yesterday a sweet nurse handed him a peanut butter cracker. He goes into cardiac arrest if he eats peanut butter. (I had made sure they knew this ahead of time.) I screamed NO as she handed it to him. It was supposed to be a cheese cracker. I shook up the whole recovery ward when I bellowed at her, but it stopped him from eating it. She hadn't seen his charts yet and meant no harm.Sorry to dump on you. I appreciate your prayers."
We certainly can and consider it done from here. Please keep us posted on how Jesse is doing.
